Dia Dhuit

So I've been doing a little soul searching lately and have stumbled upon the magic of Irelands Celtic roots. I find myself being pulled further into the extraordinary realm of the Devine, along with all the insight, love, acceptance and understanding it carries on angels wings.

Tuesday's reading with my Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards.

A Friendship Blessing

May you be blessed with good friends.
May you learn to be a good friend to yourself.
May you be able to journey to that place in your soul where there is great love,
warmth, feeling, and forgiveness.
May this change you.
May it transfigure that which is negative, distant, or cold in you.
May you be brought in to the real passion, kinship. and affinity of belonging.
May you treasure your friends.
May you be good to them and may you be there for them;
May they bring you all the blessings, challenges, truth,
and light that you need for your journey.
May you never be isolated.
May you always be in the gentle nest of belonging with your anam cara.

Reminiscing

London is lovely. I can't help but reminisce about the Australian summer though as I sit by the heater and look out my window into the cold. 

Feeling a little home sick today. 

October On Instagram

I only discovered Instagram a few of months ago and I absolutely LOVE it! 

1. A rainy day in London at the Science Museum. 

Part of their emotions exhibit. 

2. Brick Lane Market. Freaking awesome!! 

3. My first pint in London Town!
Brick Lane, Shoreditch.

 4. Marilyn Monroe. <3
The Walk of Fame, Hollywood.

5. VIP Lakers baby!

Don't you just love it when you accidentally purchase VIP tickets? Haha!

6. The Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco.

"Leaving San Francisco is like saying goodbye to an old sweetheart. You want to linger as long as possible." - Walter Cronkite. 

7. Highway 1, California.

A must do drive.

8. Shopping in America is my favourite!

9. A morning in Monterey. 

I highly recommend the Wharf's crapes. Mmm. 

10. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, California. 

11. Milford Sound, New Zealand. 

This place took my breath away! 

12. Queenstown Lovin'. 

New Zealand.

13. Lake Wanaka, New Zealand. 

Yep, it has been a fabulously crazy past month of travel but I'm ready to hang my hat up in London and settle down.
Perhaps for a little while, anyway. Hehe!

Moving Mountains

For the past couple of months I have found myself wandering without a home. At first, I felt lost and unaccomplished - then I found a home inside myself. A safe, warm and loving guardian to both protect and push. 
It was amongst New Zealand's arresting mountains that I discovered this inner peace, accompanied with an even greater zest to truly experience every foreign land I am blessed to set foot upon. Such smallness and frailty is evoked from being around these commanding beauties. I want to remember this feeling of being so grounded and humbled.

Spending time with Stevie.

Day one of my challage was a huge success and this morning I woke up feeling just as energised and keen to dive head first into my next songwriting session. Before I jumped though, I paused for a moment to consider inspiration and what inspires me. Hands down, it has to be this woman!

Stevie Nicks: 

for all the heart and raw emotion she pours into everything she does. Her ability to turn a mess into a masterpiece will never stop inspiring me. 

A friend shared this with me a little over five years ago. Still to this day it is impossible for me to watch it without getting all choked up.

If you'd like a deeper insight into this amazing woman and her songwriting check out this interview with Lynne Margolis.

Musical Musings

I have time to spare and inspiration a plenty! So what shall I do with this bubbling mix? I'm setting myself a challenge: a song a day for a week.

Guitar? Check! Pen and paper? Check! Faith? Check! 

Ready, set, GO!!

Lifting weights

Today I awoke to meet this eerily beautiful morning.
Life is good.

Love Leelu
